as mark stein writes sweden can be sweden because america is america. if we become more like europe, if entitlement programs begin to swallow our whole budget, will we still be able to afford the burdens of global military leadership? i submit that military decline is not an option for the united states. as former secretary of state madeleine albright put it, we are the indispensable nation. that's what american exceptionalism means. it means that because of our unique history, our unique power and the unique appeal of our founding principles, america plays a very special role in global affairs. i fear that many of the policies adopted over the past year will make it harder for america to continue playing this special role. and i hope that during the year ahead the administration will pursue a more sensible and responsible course, as the american people have said time and time again that they want it to do. mr. president, i yield the floor. mr. burris: the presiding officer: the senator from illinois is recognized. mr. burris:are we in morning business?
